Sepia Saturday #102 Then and Now and a special birthday

Sepia Saturday

Alan's SS entry is full of visuals to stir up memories.

That is what SS is all about, no matter the age of the photo.

While shooting photos yesterday at Thanksgiving feast I remembered this old photo and how a 30 year old photo has a lot of memories and changes associated with it.

This was taken for our family photo for our church directory in 1981.

Our oldest son had just left Ky. for his new career with IBM in Kingston, N.Y.

Yours truly, way before she was QMM, Beth, Tom,Rachel, Julia, John and Jennifer.

Yes, can't fool you, I did sepialize (?) this photo, but it was very pale and had lots of blemishes on the paper anyway.

Now speaking of memories.This photo empathizes how blessed we are in being able to gather for special holidays.

I have been able to see much of the other side of the world through this son's eyes.He has quite a travel portfolio.He loves art and literature and travel.He knows what I like and always has just the right photos to bring back to relate his experiences with me. He and his best friend traveled inside Russia back in the cold war days and were able to go places where most people were not allowed to go.

I just called by this morning to say thanks so much for becoming my latest follower, I hope you will continue to enjoy. Sepia Saturday sounds like fun maybe I will join in sometimes when my new photography blog is more settled! I love the old and new photos of your family together Peggy. Have a great weekend.

Thank God for kids and families. They give us back so much more than we could ever hope for. How textured our lives are through experiencing life with those we love. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday!

Glamour Shots

About 10 years ago, while I was still working, my company gave us the opportunity to have a session with Glamour Shots. Well, I never miss a chance for an adventure. Good for a lot of laughs amoung all the staff who had it done. I can't find all the other shots.I still laugh when I look at this. One of the shots I had a huge cowboy hat on.
